We don't check anywhere else for valid mode chars.  We would
have to fix Modules/posixmodule.c and Modules/socketmodule
if we wanted to check.  Thomas, do you think a checks should
be added or close this as a 3rd party problem?

It crashes in fdopen - looks like a bug in MS runtime library:

(in file vc98\crt\src\fdopen.c)
fdopen calls _tfopen(), creates a FILE *stream, and if the first 
character in mode is not r, w, or a, sets 'stream' to NULL to 
signal an error. Then it calls _unlock_str(stream), which 
crashes.

Note:  You probably want:
  tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".zip")

I tried this under Linux and get: OSError: [Errno 22]
Invalid argument

So this appears to be windows specific.  Exactly which line
is causing the crash? os.fdopen?
